I got into the bad habit of late night snacking and lack of sleep during my college years. I began to associate food with every activity; watching TV, reading a book, studying, surfing the web, etc... When I started to notice that all the things I'd been putting inside my body was starting to show on the outside, I panicked!!

I've tried so many ways to lose weight all of which have been unsuccessful. Including the (don't laugh) "Peel Away the Pounds" patch. Which was supposed to work sort of like the birth control patch only instead of preventing pregnancy it would suppress your appetite. I said bon'voyage to that the first week it didn't work. I can't diet to save my life!! I just love food too much. But by choosing alternate or healthier versions of the foods I love and by exercising I lost 11 lbs. Then I slacked off and gained it all back. Now I'm back and ready to do things the right way... again but this time I WILL SUCCEED!!
